  • @hubshooter
    @hubshooter 4 года назад

    To get around the issues with using pocket screws for the top, you can increase the height of the drill block on the jig. That will put the shoulder of the pocket hole far enough back to deal with the longer screws and actually give you a bit more meat for the screws. I did this on a walnut faceframe and it worked like a charm 👌👌

    Beautiful desk! That tip about adding sandpaper to the offcuts to help with clamping is gold! All your design features are inspirational for a guy like me, who is way too good at adding design features to my own projects 😁
